Well...I'm using 15K SAS in RAID10. Only 600GB because enterprise drives
are $$.
Out of curiosity what is it that I would need good luck for?
Reliability problems?

To add to this, if you are using raid5/6 with modern consumer multiple
TB disks... Well... Good luck to you.

ZFS and some of the other more recent additions do offer some tasty
features, along with HBA’s, but there’s much wider support, deeper
toolset and more documentation for the average person to get RAID 6
working than some of the new cluster stuff.
Yes, it’s cool, yes, it works and scales, etc., but for the average
person on vanilla inexpensive common hardware, RAID has been stable
and usable for a very long time and would basically work on any
hardware with vanilla OS support, and you get pretty reasonable
performance. Also, it’d be easier to get help if bad things happened.
There may also be an issue with a power/data cable, but the aging
firmware/hardware issue will still be an issue at some point in the
future when the gear is harder to get.
